took an entire century for a german politician to even recognize it happened. i asked you to give us our trespass, pest, precipices and our guilt. but the german government of the time back peddled, saying the minister had spoken as a private pass and herero nama groups. have consistently demanded an official apology and financial reparations from the german government for what historians consider the 20th centuries 1st, genocide, germany has insisted on negotiating a reconciliation deal with the namibian governments, not the victims, descendants. germany is just beginning to reckon with colonial power. but this reconciliation deal is one step in that direction. it's picked up with joshua quite the akins. there's a political scientist at the university of a castle, a welcome to the w. germany. foreign minister says this is a 1st step in the right direction. herero,

a non representative say they've been excluded from the process. what do you think should they have had the greater voice? yes, i definitely think they should have a greater voice given the fact that the board us with what is the nivia have basically been drafted right here in berlin, in the famous africa conference of 188485. so to now limit, you know, these negotiations wouldn't be in government, and a few select individuals is really not good enough. it actually continues a colonial hierarchy and the colonial construction, right thought the people who were affected should of course, have been at the center of these negotiations. the german government would say, well, as a government, we have to deal with a government. we just deal with individuals who say they were this that or, or the other. so surely it is legitimate for the german government to deal with the government of namibia, of course is legitimate to deal with the government of namibia. however,

not at the cost of excluding the descendants of those who have been wronged and they are historical. precedent for this, germany has been able to negotiate, for example, much as with the state of israel, but also with the various groups of the jewish. they asked for, right, we also would like to remind everybody that there is a declaration on the rights of indigenous peoples, which also at the u. n. double, right. which also offers a framework that enables governments to directly be in touch with and include indigenous peoples in such negotiations. precisely because of the recognition that many borders are colonial. and therefore, many governments do not fully represent the interest of everybody who find themselves in the territory today. it's interesting if you bring a photo session with israel because it people are bound to ask how much house race been a factor. and the german government's a long refusal to acknowledge this genocide. i mean, is it legitimate oriented, instructive to compare. germany is adult image of its genocide against black

victims, 100 years ago and thousands of miles away with a treatment of jewish genocide victims. well, i think it's important to recognize that there's history and their historical connections between these 2 events of martha balance, each of which of course needs to be on the last, you know, in their own context and their own. married. however, it would also be wrong to eigen it, to ignore the fact that they are, for example, personal continuities. people who did racist science in calling in the maybe a later rose to high positions in the national socialist regime. and were also instrumental in designing aspect of the schwab and the genocide of peoples that the nazis deemed to be, you know, unfit for life based on science that had some of its origins in the colonial namibia. and so, yes, there are connections. there's continuity, i beg your phone, bell, and he's talking about funding projects worth more than

a 1000000000 euros in namibia. but he's clear that this money is not reparations or compensation. why is that distinction important? well i think the german government is still afraid of the legal ramifications of a full recognition of the genocide. and this is where we heard from mister moss, you know, using this language of saying that, you know, it would today be considered a genocide. here again, we have un precedent, there's a dub and declaration that germany signed saying that a massive atrocities and crimes against humanity committed during colonialism should have counted as such at all times. so jeremy is actually renew it. i mean, you know, falling behind its own standards here precisely because, you know, of the fear that legal action could be taken, which could lead to further reparations. now, of course, it's clear that so called development assistance can not be classified as

reparation to any shape or form, simply because there are conditions that come with this money. and of course, if you say, you know, the wrong has been committed and he has recompense conditions can never be attached to such money. and so therefore, it's of course, correct to say that such money is not reparations, but it's also disingenuous to connect us money in any shape or form to some kind of recognition of the genocide which again is incomplete as we speak. and so just just so i'm clear, what do you think is behind the german government, the various german government's refusal over a 100 years to, to, to acknowledge this genocide. why does it take them so long to get here? all i think on the one hand, it is a eurocentric perspective on history that, you know, focuses on certain aspects of history. and you know, forget about others are conveniently ignores the importance of others. and then

again, there's also the issue of legal cases that have been brought by various or number organizations, for example, in new york. and there is legal precedent where for example, victims of the nazi regime specific specifically people will have been forced into forced labor by the various german companies during the nazi era house successfully sued these companies and the german government. what is legal precedent? and there is grounds to actually fear that any full recognition could and should actually lead to further claims for reparations. and we thank you for your time, joshua, crazy agents, political scientist at the university of castle. thank you. more news were around the world now. france and germany seeking to help south africa boost vaccine production to tackle the corona. virus pandemic president emmanuel macro assured the south africa there's still room opposed. funding for vaccine production facilities. german health minutes. the inch is also in the country for talks on

building a vaccine capacity. hundreds of thousands of people in the democratic republic of congo need help. after fleeing an active volcano, authorities of order to partially evacuation of the eastern city of goma scientist, a warning of what they call a potentially catastrophic interruption. 3 police officers had been wounded in a suburb of the french city of not a female officer was stabbed into the shop before the attacker was killed in a shootout with police authority said the suspect suffered from severe mental health illness and was on an islam radical islamist watch list and feller lucien president alexander lucas shanker, has told rushes vladimir putin that the west is trying to destabilize. he's country to leaders of been holding talks and the russian, the result of staci following last week's force landing of iran and flight of battle roofs. this in the detention of an opposition blog. and of course,

an international outcry led to a new sanctions as an official coast, and he brought documents that prove you is trying to put a rock of the boat in barrows, i will go to moscow and join dw corresponding to emily show and welcome, emily. what do we know about the topics being discussed in this that closed door meeting? well, we don't know too much about the topics in these in this meeting today. we do know that despite the fact that the 2 leaders were trying to portray this meeting as just a normal regular meeting, it was clearly a response to the international outcry that alexander lucas chicago has faced. this week. the 2 leaders were presenting a united front. i think and also there could be an economic aspect to this closed door meeting. we don't know, of course, but a bell roof is definitely,

you know, very dependent on russia financially anyway. and the country could now be facing, along with the, the air, the air traffic restrictions that it saw this week. additional sanctions, economic sanctions, for example, a gets its pot ash sector and also its oil sector. so we could find out later on, perhaps that lucas shank is asking, put in for money that happened last year as well. put in promise a $1500000000.00 loan to luca shanker to shore up his regime last year. and i really public display of support. so clearly president post appears at this stage anyway to be fully behind the present location. yeah. today it almost seemed like they were portraying themselves as kind of close friends, save and said that they would go swimming after today's meeting. go swimming in the

black sea, but actually their relationship has been rather fraught over the last few years. it's just that the 2 leaders are increasingly isolated. both of them, i think on the international stage, but for putin because shank over the last 2 years have been it's been a really difficult ally in many ways. first of all, lucas shank has been playing off the e u and russia against each other and sort of acting pretending to at least act as an intermediary between the 2. which i think would have angered puts in also, lucas shank is increasingly it seems on predictable. we saw that this week with this plane landing, and i think even the kremlin knows that with the huge protests that we saw in bella bruce last year, lucas shank has lost a lot of his legitimacy at home. but the problem is that russia wants to avoid at all costs, kind of legitimizing street protests that could topple. you know,

a leader a long time leader. that's just too close to home. so they've decided to really throw all their support behind lucas shank and i think that's what we're seeing in today's meeting as well. and that's what's behind approach in the backing of lucas echo the fusion doesn't want people in russia to sort of look at what's going on on their doorstep and say, oh yes, we would quite like some street protest and democracy. thank you. i think that's a very important aspect actually. i think, you know, we saw during the street protests last year that people in russia were certainly watching those very closely. people in the russian opposition were discussing them . and of course, earlier this year as well, we saw big protests in support of russian opposition leader alexander viney as well across russia. not only in the capital moscow, i think that's a real fear for bloody mir putin as well at the moment, especially with the upcoming parliamentary elections here in russia. it's very

important for putin to keep things stable in his own country. and that's part of why he wants things to be stable in the neighboring bella. ruth dw corresponded emily show within moscow. thank you so much. i sent you up today felt world news at the top of the our next 10 on d. w. co, special. after the news, the fight against the corolla virus pandemic. how has the rate of infection in developing what goes to the latest research information and contact the corona virus? because the 19 special next on dw,

sometimes a seed is all you need to allow big ideas to grow. we're bringing environmental conservation to life with learning, like global ideas. we will show you how climate change and environmental conservation is taking shape around the world and how we can all make a difference knowledge and grows through sharing, download it now for me even as many parts of the world start to open up again. frontline work as a struggling to cope with the silent, told the covert 19, pandemic phone out. and now all our recent studies and health workers and other from the workers suggest that for now is increasing anxiety is increasing. and so we expect with the rates are gonna kind of stay high for, for public service. for

a while, i see that there are some intensive care unit staff saying they've reached a breaking point from academic research centers to scientific journals. health workers inside has spiking the pandemic se, hitting a wall. the, i know some health care workers who throw in the towel and taken up a completely different job. main thing, stay the same. doctors and nurses who can soldier on is still a lot of work. and maybe live at the end of the tunnel, but the crisis isn't over. a taste of normality can be felt all over madrid. the cities vibrant nights have recently been approaching what they were before. the pandemic bars and restaurants are busy. since the spain lifted the state of alarm bars and restaurants had steady, the extended the hours curfews have largely been canceled. non essential travel between the regions is allowed. again. the lifting of these restrictions was met

with wild celebrations in the streets of spain. that outraged many spaniards infection rates across spain are dropping but here in madrid that still higher than elsewhere. and hospitals especially feeling the pinch intensive cast off say that debit occupied after more than that breaking point. some even putting that job at the cove. it was, this is why people we speak to are cautious. they want to enjoy their new freedoms, but also do so responsibly. one of the 4 discard thea hasn't seen his family in 9 months because of spain travel bands. he is planning along over to visit yada, now that they're opening up the really want to see each other, but we're also scared as part of it. okay. especially because my father died last june from cove it, although his mother is already vaccinated for this garcia, will still take every precaution to make sure his visit home will be safe laterally

. that is like it is what it is. the virus is there. even the restrictions are ease, but it's true that the eating of measures takes a weight of your shoulders. it gives the freedom to a certain degree bar owners like simone, i photo optimistic that such freedoms are here to stay. businesses in our sector that live from one day to the other cannot afford to close. but i am confident that by the end of the some other situation will have improved. whether it's social and night life or everything else to myself. and all those bodies here . until then, spain will try and enjoy this fragile life, hoping that 1000000 small people will get the vaccine. and that corona virus variance can be kept at, say, europe and north america starting to reopen. but that has many employees. worried. one survey shows that nearly half of workers could leave their jobs in the coming

months. 66 percent of respondents saying they feared that workplace safety measures were being listed too soon. on surprisingly, health care workers and researches are some of the most effective by covert stress, one in 5 saying they were considering leaving the field when the crisis is over. there you know, there's, are a dickinson is a clinical psychologist and the academic, mental health and well being specialist joins us from our country in spain. just what sort of a burden 1st of all of these medical workers in particular carrying quite a huge bit. right. so the, the weight of, of, of, of, i guess the world of looking at the moon how, how are they able to help our grandfather in hospital in this moment, holding people's hands when they can have family to support them? how do they deal with just the increased burden? i've heard stories of people who of medical professionals who have signed the

certificates in a day than they had in their work life to that point. this is incredibly impactful on those at that co faced right now. so how should those doctors and nurses be dealing with this sort of situation and it's huge, but why it's very easy for me to say from the comfort of my, my office, my enclosed office without having to wear a mask or anything like that. but it's, i suppose it would be my to seems, would be to take it back to sort of the smallest possible changes that you can make in the moment. right? that pause and breathe that, that pool is just to refit yourself receipt. even your post. recognize that the physical sensations that you're experiencing, feed into the level of stress, the level of what you're experiencing at any point in time. so just researching your brain through, through that die for medic breathing, if you like, receding just your posture and finding that point of tension in your body can be

useful in those moments and just keep it, keep it in the, in the moment. if you, if you can, right, just rather than do me out and looking at all that you are dealing with over time. but just the person in front of you and how you can, how you can help your work. concentrate mainly on academia. how much of a problem is, is burned out in academia and how has covert made it was? well, i guess if you consider the sorts of things that dr. burn out, it's not really surprising. they bring out the huge problem, academia, right, increased workloads, really high workloads, relentless pressure to publish really, really little work life balance, i think drivers. but then if you consider the scientists even those working around the clock to provide us with everything that we know about the current or virus, all of those predictions in those models that are driving governmental policy. the science that allows for this rapid development of these life saving vaccines. many of these incredibly talented individuals, are short term contracts with no idea whether they live, what they like to look like,

where they will be living in the next 2 years time. that's a huge degree of job uncertainty, and that's incredibly stressful. right. covey has been increased their workload at times 3 times the working load because of the teaching load is shifted significantly to move them on line is to reduce any of the ability to collaborate and network with our colleagues and to build and to share on those scientific ideas and opinions of them doing it at home with kids asking for snacks, every 2 minutes. it's hugely increase that right now and i can in the community official. so do you have any advice for them in preventing that out in the 1st place? i guess 1st and foremost it's really richard, and i think that that, that burn as a problem not of the individual but of a system by the system that needs to change. but that seed obviously they're asking the individuals can do. and that's why i suppose i spend a lot of my work is this things that we can do to protect ourselves against it or to manage it when we're experiencing. it fits with academic just it's just don't internalize it. this isn't the sign that you're not cut out for academia that

you're not good enough. those thought stop us from putting a hand up and asking for help. it would be focusing on the things that you can control. why you might not be able to change that lack of job security right now, but you can work on managing your worried. your fee is how much they keep you up at night. how much they stop you from concentrating. and again, just making the smallest possible changes, those micro changes that could fit you on a healthy path today, right? it might be towards sleeping, it might be towards moving a little more, might be just permission to breathe and do nothing disconnect for 5 minutes briefly with you. and also i was just going to ask, what about a big change? what about something like? because i was reading a lot of employees, would like to move towards a hybrid model of work to reduce that stress. what. what do you make of that? i suppose in some ways it's been, it's been really beneficial, right? a few don't need to be in the lab as a scientist or whatever than being able to work from home has provided degree of

objects ability that many are enjoying. but to be honest, i can mix, at least and many of us, right. i'm not very good at delineating between work and life and finding that line in between and the few about doing that from home. that's even harder still. so how do you find that line? how do you close that laptop and not just chicky nails in the evening. which is intruding on our lives. and especially in covert times when you don't have life, all of that life outside your friends, your family coming in claiming some of that work time. then you're just working more, right? you're just able to phillips bye and it's, it's hurting us putting a lot. is there a tickets in there for us, a clinical psychologist and a bit of advice there. if you are suffering from out. great talking t my please. yes, i can see that other interesting question for our science correspondent derek williams. if you've got one yourself, send it to i'll get your channel. oh,

right. you can antibody explanation, negative shouldn't have come at positive no, not necessarily. the food and drug administration in the u. s actually issued a communique on exactly this topic just a few days ago. it says that although cove at $900.00 vaccination might cause a positive result in some antibody tests, it doesn't necessarily do so for all or, or even for most of them. that sounds a little counter intuitive, i know, but, but it isn't really for some simple reasons. one in particular, which is that most antibody tests weren't designed to detect immunity after vaccination. they were designed to detect a past infection with ours cooperative. and although both vaccination and infection lead to the same result, which is immunity for at least a while against the virus,

it turns out that at the immune system level things are a little more complicated to surprise, surprise, to explain what's going on. let's look at the structure of stars covey. 2 for a 2nd. from the outside, it looks like a ball studded with weird, feathery structures. the ball is what's called the caps. it which in cases the virus is genetic material together they form what's called the nucleus caps in the feather like structures that dart the surface are called spikes. now when you contract cobra 19, your body reacts with a range of antibodies that attach to a range of different targets. lots of them on the nuclear caps it. and those are the anti bodies that many tests are developed to detect. most vaccines, however, work by getting your immune system to produce only antibodies that target spikes

and plenty of tests weren't made to detect those. so if you've only been vaccinated but not infected, and you take one of those tests, then it'll come up negative because the test was made to detect nuclear caps and antibodies and not the spike antibodies that you're vaccinated system is producing . but they protect you effectively to me so much i stay safe and see you again. some of the the me use

the the ah, the, the been ongoing quest for the spring began in 2011 people stood up against corrupt,

rulers and dictatorship. all these moments have left the box in my memory. mm. they had hoped for more security, more freedom, more dignity, have their hopes fulfilled. 10 years after the arab spring, rebellion starts june 7th on d. w. the news a show coming up today. the question of time, what are the origins of covert, maintain the united states attempts to answer that with a new investigation for china golden politically motivated. will we ever get to the truth behind corporate teams, origins? and taiwan has per month gift the corona virus, and big,

but the islands 1st serious outbreak has led to a lot down that many thought they would never see.
